MODEL-STAND.

/ SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 521,833, dated June 26, I894.

Applicatlonfiled November 23, 1893. Serial No. 491,806. (No model.)

To 00% whom itmay concern.-

' Be it known that I, CHRISTINE SULLIVAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Model-Stands, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a model stand upon which to display an object for the use of individuals or classes for the purpose of facilitating drawing from the obj ect or model.

The essential feature of my stand consists in means for regulating light and shade on the object to be reproduced and its vertical adjustability. To produce the highest artistic effect it is often desirable that a part of the model before the pupil or artist be in shade while other parts are subject to high light and also that the model be capable of being raised or lowered according to the position of the person reproducing it. My stand embodies means for accomplishing these desirable effects and which is more particularly hereinafter specified and claimed.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1. is' a side elevation of the movable board part of the stand. Fig. 2. is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3. is a plan view taken above the level of the shelf upon which the object displayed is intended to rest. Fig. 4:. is a plan view taken below the level of the same shelf. Fig. 5. is a side elevation of the standard. Fig. 6. is a front elevation of the same, and Fig. 7. is an isometric view of the stand complete.

A is a shelf upon which the object dis played rests and is rigidly secured by bracket h to a grooved slide D adapted .to' slide vertically upon the standard E. This standard is fastened in a suitable base F and securely held in position by bracket h, h; holes 11,11 take through slide D and standard E and are provided with pins g whereby the slide is held at any desired height upon the standard. The slide D. is dovetailed about the standard to be held in a sliding position.

An object cabinet is formed above the shelf A by a back board B rigidly secured to the shelf A and having hinged thereon doors or wings O 0. By swinging these wings at different angles different degrees of light and shade are cast upon the object, as for example; when both wings stand at right angles to the back board the front of the image will be in high light While the sides will remain in shade, and by opening one of these wings only one side of the image will be in shade,' and thedegree of shade will depend upon the angle at which the wing stands with the back board. For the best results the interior surface of the cabinet should have a dull finish so as to prevent any reflection of light from the back board or wings.

A book or suitable fastening may be secured in the back board upon which to suspend casts or other objects in a suitable manner for standing on the shelf.

I claim- 1. The combination in a model stand of a standard having an adjustable cabinet thereon, consisting of a shelf, a back piece, and light-regulating wings hinged to said back piece substantially as and for the purpose described. v

2. The combination in a model stand of a standard, a bracket vertically adjustable thereon, an object cabinet supported by the bracket, consisting of a back piece and lightregulating wings hinged to said back piece substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. The combination in a model stand of a shelf, back board, wings hinged thereon and adapted to swing over the shelf, the interior surface of the back piece and wings provided 8 5 CHRISTINE SULLIVAN.
